I'm struggling to cope with my anxiety
Posted , 10 users are following.
Hello
I am suffering with generalised anxiety disorder, it started at the end of September when I came back from holiday, I feel sick all the time, shaky, palpitations, negative thoughts, tummy troubles, fear being alone, I just don't know where to turn.
I am on Prozac 40 mg daily that only got increased today as I was only on 20mg, and I was referred to the mental health team and they put me on pregabalin 50mg twice daily about a month ago but still no joy.
I am only 25 and I have lost both my parents a few years back, and turnt to alcohol which put me in intensive care with slight brain damage that caused visual problems, but I can't ever drink alcohol again, but I keep getting negative thoughts about drinking again which I hate, and I feel so down and hopeless, I finished my last session of counselling yesterday and that hasn't even helped!
I don't know what to do, please can anyone tell me I'm not alone? I just want to cry

There negative thoughts but they scare me and I can't concentrate on nothing when I'm on my own, I feel I'm trapped in a cage, and I want to feel calm and relaxed being at home alone again because a few months ago I loved my house.
I feel in such a muddle at the moment, and the mental health team I'm under just seem useless, I had 6 sessions of counselling but that didn't make any difference, I just dread everyday xxx

At the moment I wake up with heart palpitations, and feel so sick it's unreal, but I take my tablets and I know I can't be sick as I need to keep my medication down, I am very insecure and hate being on my own, I go to my aunt and uncles everyday as they live 3 doors away from me, then of an evening my fiancé is home from work and he's home weekends, I feel very teary, and cry quite often. I also have horrible suicidal thoughts which I hate because they make my anxiety increase, I just want it all to go away, I want my appetite back, and feel my normal self again, I'm only 25 and usually enjoy my job, but because I work in a pharmacy, and all the pills around scares me, I hate it when I shake and feel like my life is on hold at the minute xx
